Fitchburg boy, 6, run over by car

FITCHBURG — A 6-year-old boy was injured when he was run over by a car in front of his Rollstone Street home Monday, police said.

According to police, just after 6 p.m. a 6-year-old boy was skateboarding in the driveway of the two-family home where he lived at 132 Rollstone St. and fell just as a tenant from the second floor pulled out. The car drove over the boy's midsection.

Police said the boy fell off his skateboard just as the car pulled away, and ran over the boy. Police said he was alert and conscious and talking, but complained of pain in his stomach. He was taken by ambulance to a local hospital with what police described as non-life-threatening injuries. His father was with him and had been outside when the accident occurred, police said.
